Objective:
To investigate the prognostic significance of DTA (DNMT3A, TET2, ASXL1 ) gene mutations in patients with non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Methods:
The clinical data of 180 newly diagnosed AML patients hospitalized in the First People's Hospital of Changzhou from January 2018 to April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Next-generation sequencing technology was used to detect 150 gene mutations in the patients, and log-rank tests and Cox regression models were used to analyze the prognostic factors.
Results:
DTA gene mutations were detected in 83 (46.1%) of 180 AML patients. Compared to patients without DTA mutations, patients with DTA mutations were significantly older (P < 0.001). The median overall survival (OS) time and disease-free survival (DFS) time in the DTA mutation group were significantly shorter than those in the group without DTA mutation (both P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥ 60 years (P < 0.001), with DTA mutation (P =0.018), and intermediate-risk (relative to favorable-risk) (P =0.005) were independent risk factors for OS in AML patients.
Conclusion:
AML patients with DTA mutations are relatively older, with shorter median OS time and DFS time, and poor prognosis.
